Was Your Focus RS Order Cancelled? Buy This Cool-Looking Ford Instead

In every hobby, there is a phenomenon where acquisition or consumption of everything is the essence of the passion. Car nuts certainly can relate, as there are those who must collect, install, and promote every possible tuner part on their cars. The well-off car enthusiast may collect every iteration of a particular classic car. For golfers, there are those (known as “club whores”) who obsess over every detail of every golf club, and buy every possible one the day they are released. They may sell off the pieces that don’t fit their game to fund their habits.

Photographers are no different. The drive to buy yet another lens, tripod, body, flash, or whatever is all-consuming. Here, we have an example of an obviously talented shooter using his skills to sell off a well-used truck, likely to fund his glass habit.

Reddit is a dangerous place for those who, like me, are afflicted by ADHD and a desire to read everything in the world. This morning, I wandered upon this thread, which caught my eye since I’m always looking for interesting cars for sale.

It seems a Houston-based photographer named Larry, working under the title Hafast Photography, is selling his beat-up 1998 Ford Ranger on Craigslist.

Clearly, these aren’t the half-assed photos we’re used to seeing for online car sales.

I’m no photographer, so I can’t speak intelligently about the skills or techniques used here. But it’s obvious that making sure your subject is well photographed is crucial for making your Craigslist ad go viral.

Maybe Sajeev wants this Ranger, too.
